How to combine multiple search raw strings in a single query

Hi, 

 

I need to do search with multiple raw strings within a single query.  When I search these strings separately, I am able to get the results.  But when I combine these it is not giving the results and ending with 'No results found'. 

The below three queries are working fine.

  • sourcetype="States*"  *Karnataka*
  • sourcetype="States*"  *Tamil Nadu*
  • sourcetype="States*"  *Mumbai*

When I execute the below query I am getting 'No results found' comment. 

  • sourcetype="States*"  *Karnataka*  *Tamil Nadu*  *Mumbai*

Can anyone through some light on this, thanks in advance.

SPL inserts an implicit AND between each search term.  To search for optional terms, insert an explicit OR.

sourcetype="States*" ("*Karnataka*" OR "*Tamil Nadu*" OR "*Mumbai*")

Please use "OR" inbetween the searches..

sourcetype="States*"  (*Karnataka*  OR  *Tamil Nadu* OR  *Mumbai*)
